Niacinamide and linoleic acid
Work well together
Use them together in the same routine, applying niacinamide first to help your skin absorb the nourishing oils. Niacinamide helps boost your skin's natural moisture barrier, while linoleic acid calms and balances oil production. No changes are needed since these two ingredients work wonderfully together for healthy skin.
